  1. Dude put in his dues for quite a while before landing bigger roles, so he's grabbed the baton and is running. Film is on the list next month at Cannes and then opens stateside in July; I hope it is a good film as the topic is one that sets off some folks.
  2. Better start wearing the gold lapel pin or get reported for anti-Christian bias....
  3. I'll take your Commodus and raise you a Harkonnen:
  4. Once again, thank you for the update. Oklahoma is predictably stupid about not reporting counties; but the only way one could even try and suss out potential locations is by tracking exposure sites that the media shared. Recently, they've had some exposures in OKC, so speculation might be that those are Kansas cases traveling southward to the nearest metro area for care. (Although Stillwater would be more likely). I haven't followed theirs as closely. One of the news agencies mentioned northeastern Oklahoma and specifically mentioned Weatherford which is NOT northeastern Oklahoma (that would be like Tulsa or Bartlesville) and once again proves the issue with a)fact checking no longer being a thing and b) the giant corps like Fox buying stations coast to coast is shit for true and accurate news.
  5. Welp, I've tried to learn from mistakes, either my own or others. Learning nuance, i.e. when and how to apply what one has learned, comes afterward on that journey. Or one can plow blindly and recklessly ahead.
  6. I bet that was so heart pounding scary. Have had a couple of those calls and the subsequent adrenaline flood as the brain begins to process what you're hearing is unforgettable. Very happy your father is receiving care. Best wishes for his recovery.
  7. People that do that (bolded) are really stupid. The correct comment when passed/passing by a cyclist is "Refund! Refund!" IYKYK.
  8. There were two events, the first one ended up with the shooter being killed while the second one (in Florida) the suspect (currently in custody) didn't actually discharge a weapon. There were a number of stories ongoing while officials were trying to determine if this was a person (the event in Pennsylvania) acting alone (apparently so). He was 20 years old and even though I'm rather jaded at times, I have a difficult time believing the GOP catfished the dude into this. But just like other events in history, in the current state of the media it's not going to stick around unless there's something the pols can exploit or use as bait to rile up folks.
  9. Not a fan either. I guess I understand why some women do it, and if it was important to a friend of mine I figure it's not my business to say... but it's not my cup of tea. She figured out a good way to shift gears on her career path choices and it seems to be working for her.
  10. What I wouldn't give for some brave soul in the White House to stand by that paint-by-number and shout, A Sharpie, A Sharpie, my kingdom for a Sharpie! since Shakespeare truly understood power and those who seek it. However it would be wasted upon the dolts currently residing there.
  11. She is smoking hot (although I defer to the male eye's judgement) and that is excellent work on her nose I must say, although I think she overdoes the lip treatment a bit, but for someone just over 40 she does look good. Until you can book her for the 'water therapy counseling' session you desire, why don't you check her out in Playboy (8 times) or one of her movies, such as Vixens From Venus? She had quite a career before returning to school and getting a master's in Clinical Psychology. She has an interesting bio and here's a little more should anyone care read about it (or order a custom video!) https://www.ocweekly.com/b-movie-actress-custom-video-director-and-sex-therapist-erika-jordan-loves-love/
  12. Put those kids toddlers to work! It should be noted that Jessica's answer was ignored by Jeanine who kept on talking. Fox doing Fox things.
  13. Kirkland & Ellis was former DOJ Barr's firm correct? No surprise there.
  14. I used to consider most people as kind at heart and some part of me still wants to go with that, but lately it's been tough. Empathy as a weakness? (geez doesn't that soundbite tweet feel like it was ages ago?) It also sounds so straight out of Putin's mouth it makes me want to puke. People who didn't vote for this mess are going to be hurt by it in more ways than economically and won't have the $$ to climb out of it.
  15. I suspect he also has crunchy hair due to product and yeah, he doesn't want that to get messed up. He's very vain about stuff like that but in the wrong ways.
  16. So true and...
  17. NGL, corps kowtowing to political chicanery and rolling back inclusivity with respect to both customers and employees as well as consumer protection policies does not have us wanting to buy anything that isn't strictly necessary. Fuck the regime's cries of don't panic. Yeah, sure, I'll believe a mobster standing in front of my door with his goons behind him saying that with a smile on his face. Not. However, we do have to eat. We rarely eat out, but when we do, it's the local places. The taqueria up the street whose enchilada platter puts me in a meat coma, the Indian buffet with fantastic mutter paneer, the Korean restaurant that has a seafood pancake that is so crisp and tasty, the burger joint. Real food made by our neighbors in the community. Their costs will probably go up and therefore their prices, but we'll be there for them.
  18. I just saw a poll regarding tariffs, and young working class white males had a favorable view of them. I suspect the neighbor dudes, if collegiate (in which white college educated males polled tariffs as unfavorable by a larger margin) may get wiser but it will depend upon how effective the GOP kool-aid is at dulling their brain cells. *The poll was conducted by Marquette and is available here: https://law.marquette.edu/poll/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/MLSPSC25PressReleaseNationalIssues.pdf
  19. Not wrong on that point at all. Encouraging young people to question and be a member of the resistance (to challenge, to learn, to try and figure things out) is tricky as it can play with our own insecurities, but it can change the world.
  20. Agree. Spoilered commentary:
  21. Pick me, pick me, pick me! *Can't claim credit for Elon's appearance, some other internet denizen pointed it out....
  22. I checked around, and one of the articles compared it to a Mao pin, but what hasn't been verified as accurate is whether HE is articulating it or the sycophants are doing this of their own accord. Either is just stunningly awful though.
  23. SIAP. Not a flag, not a congressional pin but an empty golden head. Guess the loyalty test has gone full Trump Tower penthouse tacky. You can read the article at the link but it doesn't appear to be a joke. Wonder if all of the military will have to wear them in his pricey parade....
  24. An alternative outcome would be the reversion to the old belief that it is caused by the mother with the additional caveat that it is mothers in the workforce. That belief had some sticking around power for a long time until the vaccine stuff started.
